Background

Our Strategic Plan 2030 sets a vision for the City of Tea Tree Gully that is focused on creating a thriving community with a quality lifestyle that values its people and natural environment.

The Plan serves as a guiding document that outlines the Council's priorities, objectives, and strategies for achieving our shared vision. It provides a framework for decision-making and resource allocation, ensuring that our actions are aligned with the needs and aspirations of our residents.

At the heart of this Plan is the wellbeing of everyone who lives and works here and visits our city. The concept of wellbeing underpins the development of our Strategic Plan where we strive for a healthy, safe, prosperous, connected, vibrant and liveable city and community.

In preparation for updating the Strategic Plan 2030, we conducted preliminary engagement with the community and targeted interest groups. This feedback has informed the development of our Strategic Plan and to set the vision and direction of Council for the next 5+ years.

When prompted with a list of priority options, the top ten priorities highlighted by the community include:

• Managing our waste
• Design of places, spaces and neighbourhoods
• Ageing population
• Housing affordability and diversity of housing choice
• Engaging the community in Council decisions
• Public transport
• Connecting people to places, spaces and neighbourhoods
• Ensuring ongoing water sustainability and security
• Walkability and cycling
• Reducing our carbon footprint
